[SOLD-OUT] Best's Thomson Family Shiraz 2006

Jeremy Oliver 95 points!
"An exemplary Great Western shiraz whose pristine expression of small black and red berry fruits, tightly knit cedar/chocolate oak and dusty, spicy and peppery undertones simply ooze finesse and charm. More savoury and artful than its predecessors, this firm but stylish and seamless wine has plumpness and juiciness, but finishes long and savoury, with a lingering core of intense minty red and black berry fruit and charcuterie-like complexity. It's medium to full in weight, with a profound, robust structure. Likely to develop in the bottle for several decades."

"With a very deep purple-black color, the 2006 Great Western Thomson Family Shiraz gives a whole array of complex aromas: warm plum, kirsch, blackberry conserve, dried rose petals, black pepper, loam, underbrush, tobacco, smoky bacon, mocha and girolles. With so much happening on the nose, the palate is surprisingly elegant with medium to full body, medium-high acid and a medium to high level of finely grained tannins. Exquisitely balanced, this wine has a very long finish. Beginning to drink well now, it should cellar until 2025+."
